17 kids build a salad table

We were happy to have the Muskogee YVC group here for their end of the year party. It was a great year for the blackberries and grapes so the event began with blackberry and grape eating. This year's project was constructing a salad table and this year's lunch was make your own pizza. The photos will tell you everything!

Share What You Have to Share

Most of us aren't wealthy. But we all have something we can share. YVC, Youth Volunteer Corps of America is a national program designed to help children. The goals detailed on the website: 1. To engage young people in service projects that are challenging, rewarding and educational. 2. To serve the unmet needs of the community and its residents. 3. To promote among young people a greater understanding & appreciation for the diversity of their community. 4. To promote a lifetime ethic of service among young people. So, we had two groups of YVC participants here - a dozen each day for two days. What did we have to share with them? We all baked bread together. They toured the yard - veggies, fruit, herbs, flowers, butterfly habitat. Here they are picking and eating blackberries. When the bread was all baked they made sandwiches and had lunch. Whatever you have going on - share it.
